Nikoklia Village

The village of Nikoklia is situated 17 kilometres south-east of Pafos and it is the first village to be found on the road towards the mountain resorts of Cyprus and towards Troodos. The distances were much reduced with the construction of the new Limassol - Pafos & Nikoklia - Troodos road. Transport from Nikoklia to Limassol takes about 25 minutes whereas going to Troodos takes about an hour. It is a 5 minute drive from the airport of Pafos.

Is built at an average altitude of 80 meters, in a beautiful, natural landscape in the west bank of the Diarizos river. West of the village -and at a small distance -lies the Asprokremmos dam. With Regards to transportation, the village connects to the villages Souskiou and Fasoula in the north-east and to the Pafos-Limassol main road in the south-west.

There is a local belief that Nikokleia was used by King Nikoklis as the garden to his royal palace in Paleapafos, now Kouklia. Paleapafos was the capital of Cyprus at that time. This indicates that the village is probably over 2000 years old!

The church of Ayios Dimitrios, established in 1768AD has many interesting icons. Situated near the Diarizos river, is an 18th century structure. It is made out of local stone. The temple's new icon screen -made out of carved wood -is noteworthy.

The community has a very good climate with cool wind blowing down from the Troodos mountain range -in the summer -through the river's rift. In the spring a beautiful scent covers the region, which comes from the blooming of the various trees that exist in the whole range of the community. During the months of winter the climate is mild.
